NickT - I'm interested know know more if you live to the rear of the station - does your property have off street parking? I'm not aware of any properties on Whateley or the north end of Landcroft that do.

I'm sure there won't be parking at street level in any proposal. at most, there may be some in a basement but I woundnt be surprised to see proposals coming forward without any onsite parking.

I wonder if you could get a basement car park in there...


If that was the case, and the site is a good 22000 sq ft, basement car park, supermarket on the ground floor and 2, possibly 3 levels of flats. Easily recoup the land cost (?5 million) and building cost, ?15-18 million. Completely ill-sited and ill-suited for a school.

East Dulwich school place crisis update

New East Dulwich primary schools - update


We have lots of good news.


Permanent Site Agreed

It has been confirmed first thing today that the former East Dulwich Police has been sold to the Education Finance Agency to form the permanent site for our new East Dulwich Harris free primary school. The land area is about the same size as Heber School and Goose Green School. This is brilliant news for local school places. With a permanent site for September 2015 it makes the opening of this school on a temporary site this Setepmber 2014 no longer a gamble for parents. As the school admissions for the first year runs in parallel to the main Southwakr admissions process parents have nothing to lose applying for both and then chosing which of the two places they wish to take up.

I hope you apply for a place for you child.


Second School Application

An application for a second local Harris free primary school was awareded last week. It would open September 2015. It's aim is to fill the large primary school admissions gap around Homestall Road in SE22. So it's been titled Nunhead Harris free primary school.

Our proposed target is that it will also be an outstanding school as per Ofsted and in the top 10% of primary schools for England & Wales both in terms of overall results and individual pupil progression. To meet these three objectives it would be in the top 5% of UK schools. Exactly the high aspirations we need locally for our children.


Solving The Crisis - where are we?

By September 2016 we'll have a shortage of 215-235 primary reception places in the Dulwich area. The already agreed first Harris Primary school for East Dulwich will provide 60 places, the Judith Kerr school that opened last September provides 25 based on distance, The new Dulwich Hamlet school would relieve around 30 places from Goose Green School. The Bessemer Grange extra class will add 30 places. Expanding Ivydale will help slightly in our area.

But this still leaves circa 50-70 extra required spaces.

Hence why the second Harris primary school agreed last week adding 60 places is so important. Work on its permanent site is ongoing.


Questions

With so much going on please do get in touch with any questions of concerns.

I was quite surprised to read that, Heber looks like a much bigger space, but when the building comes down I imagine the space will look a lot bigger.


A new school is undoubtedly needed in the area, so I guess it's good news, I just hope it's well handled.

James, if you have the influence, could you ask those responsible to clear up the mess that's collecting around the station? There is leaf mulch and litter, most of which would due attractive to vermin. Tagging's started on the side doors too. Thanks.

What are you talking about. (Polite Version) Do you really think that would be a good site for a School. ?


Main Road, Traffic, Small Children. Idiot.


Unless you have something sensible to say keep your opinions to your self (Polite Version)

James .. When Grove Vale school was built 100 so years ago, there were very few cars..

They recently widened the pavements to make it safer. And I don't think the gates on Grove vale are in use.

(May be Wrong)


Building any new school should take as one of it's priorities.. Safety. Top Priority where children are concerned

Not just build anywhere and try and put right at a later date.


Plan Ahead. Find a suitable site. Not just make do.


There may be space for a small school. With no outside play area.

      Yes they do, but that is not the core tenet of representative democracy. At that level, we are voting for a parliamentary representative, irregardless of whether parties exist or not. It's why candidates can stand as independents.

      Sadly I think you will never convince people like this. They think gardens have to be kept chopped back and controlled. My theory is that this comes from being (or trying to be) controlling in every aspect of their lives, so I doubt if anything you could say or show them would have any effect. But are they actually coming into your garden or leaning over into it and pulling up/damaging things? If so, maybe one of our community police people could have a word with them?

      Dear Nature lovers - advice please. I am being harassed by a neighbour who doesn't like my standard of gardening which she calls 'messy'. (I have rewilded my garden with advice from the London Wildlife Trust and a gardening expert from The Times.) I have twice caught this neighbour and her husband pulling up my plants and damaging my trees. Plus she has photographed my house, and sent a dozen complaints to the Dulwich Estate about my plan to rewild the verge outside my property - approved by the Estate some 4 years ago in line with their stated policy of supporting biodiversity in and around Dulwich. What can I do to introduce these neighbours  to the benefits to us all of returning a portion of our gardens to nature?
